Ugh there's little to no labor laws for developers.

Sometimes they don't even list software development as an industry.

We don't really analyze business finances, but we create tools that help real analysts to gather data and visualize economic trends. We don't really teach kids, but we create tools for schools. We're not in retail, but our cusomters are.

"Oh I know! You're an **electrician**. I'll put you next to the people who install air conditioning."

"How about... storage services?" I say "we storage our customer's data. At least that is accurate."
"Oh yeah like wholesale!"

"I recommend you write down telecomuncations." I mean, we do use HTTP if that's what you mean, but would you call a restaurant to be in the telecommunications industry just because they have social media accounts?

    Thats probably country dependent.

    In Sweden, software development is one of the largest single working group and is even usually subdivided into different specializations in forms and surveys.

    But at a minimum you always have an IT option.

    A funny thing a few friends mentioned when moving from Canada to the US.

    In Canada, we are software developers, not software engineers. (We're legally not allowed to call ourselves engineers.)

    But, when trying to get a work Visa for the US, we put down engineer, since getting a Visa with "IT" is a lot harder
